Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition Review

Guacamelee! was released last year to a lot of fanfare. The mix of “Metroid-vania” game play, old school beat-em-up sensibilities, and vibrant visuals was everything a downloadable title should be in my mind. I never once thought that it was missing anything. It seems Drinkbox Studios felt differently, because Guacamelee! STCE is packed with everything I…

Review: Mario Kart 8

Mascot kart racing fanatics rejoice! Mario Kart 8 is finally here, and it is among the best in the series. Nintendo nails it again with incredibly tight racing, great track design, and the long-awaited Blue Shell counter, the Super Horn.

Infamous: Second Son Review

As I was tearing down the streets, running over cars, or up the side of buildings with a purple-ish neon colored trailing me wherever I went, I came to the conclusion that Infamous: Second Son is legitimate fun. While there were some things I felt Sucker Punch could’ve done better, what’s presented here is as close…

Titanfall Review: “Lots of action, and not much else.”

To start, I’d like to say there may be things I have covered previously that aren’t in this review. For that, I’d recommend you checking out my beta impression before reading this. Ok, lets begin.

Strider Review (PS4)

There are a ton of games and franchises from yesteryear that would make excellent choices for a revival subject. Gamers as a collective have been screaming for quite a few lately.

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition Review (PS4)

Every time a developer announces a reboot of an iconic gaming series, the gaming universe reacts one of two ways. The first reaction is a collective groan, which usually morphs into a snowball of bad press following the game around until release. Sometimes those fears are justified, other times not so much. The second reaction…

Ru’s Retro Review: The Simpsons Arcade

Hey there! From time to time I’ll go back to the old days and check out a few of the classics. The true test of a classic is how well they hold up today.   The Simpsons Arcade Game is a beat em up classic. Back in the glory days of the arcade, Konami was…

Dead Rising 3…..Third Time The Charm?

What’s up readers! My name is Ruben (@ElEpicoRu) and I have 2 things to tell you. The first is that I’m the newest member of the Ourcade Games team. (Cue applause and screaming.) The second is I love zombie games. Are you tired of zombie games? Cool, me neither. Dead Rising 3 is here to…

Falling Into Shadow

It took me a while to finish another post. Why, you ask? Well, I wanted my next one to be about my experience playing Killzone:Shadow Fall as a newcomer to the series. Admittedly, it took me a while to actually get going in the game. I got caught up playing NBA 2K14, and Killzone hadn’t…
